Mbali's Story My initial fascination with coding sparked during a university project where I was tasked with creating a simple website. The process of piecing together HTML and CSS to bring my ideas to life was like discovering a new form of artistic expression. Witnessing the impact of a few lines of code on the screen fueled my curiosity, and I found myself drawn to the intricacies of web development. As I delved deeper into coding tutorials and projects, the ability to solve problems and build functional, interactive elements became incredibly gratifying. This hands-on experience ignited a passion that has since evolved into a genuine interest in the limitless possibilities that coding offers

SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women currently hold 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less money than men. In most developing countries, more than 65% of women don't have bank accounts and cannot afford to invest in their education. Female refugees also don’t have many opportunities to invest in their education and improve their career horizon - they often work in unskilled, undervalued, and low-paid informal sectors.

SheCodes is here to help provide women in developing countries and women who are refugees with the opportunity to learn how to code for free. SheCodes offers a solid introduction to product development, product design and product management.
